Zusammenfassung:"The massive growth in availability of air travel and air freight has led to aviation becoming one of the fastest growing emitters of greenhouse gases. This and other trends have caused a shift in expectations of how we do business, where we go on holiday, and what food and goods we can buy. For these reasons aviation is (and is set to stay) high up on global political, organizational and media agendas." "This textbook is the first to attempt a comprehensive review of the topic, bringing together an international team of leading scientists. Starting with the science of the environmental issues, it moves on to cover drivers and trends of growth, socioeconomics and politics, as well as mitigation options, the result being a broad yet detailed examination of the field. This is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in transport, tourism, the environment, geography and beyond, while also being a valuable resource far professionals and policy makers seeking a clear understanding of this complex yet urgently pressing issue."--BOOK JACKET.
